Progressive Snapshot

A few weeks ago I told you about the Progressive Snapshot and how this tiny little gadget can plug right into your car and save you money on your car insurance. I promised to update how it went.

I saved.

Now, remember me telling you that it was a lot like having your Drivers Ed Teacher in the car with you at all times? Yeah, THAT got really annoying. It even got to where I was like “oh yeah, she’s gonna beep at me for this one.”

Truth is I am one of those people that actually STOPS for red lights. According to my little Snapshot I should be running those babies more often. The Progressive #Snapshot would beep at me just about every time. Aren’t you supposed to stop when you are 100 feet away and the light turns yellow?

I did manage to go the entire time without accelerating too fast – which does not surprise me. I am seldom in a hurry to get anywhere when I am in the car – and it drives Mike crazy. I will happily cruise along in the right hand lane…passing people leisurely… all the while he is chewing on the dashboard with aggravation. I just don’t get in a hurry anymore.

I was surprised that I took as many road trips with it and still did very well – earning a “B” for my driving skills. I took an impromptu trip to Jacksonville for a Girls Weekend with Joy, and weekly I head over to Mobile to spend a Girls Day with Trisha. I also was on a trip where I didn’t drive all all for 5 days, so maybe that made up for it.

Either way I am excited to save even more on my Progressive Car Insurance now that I have used the Progressive Snapshot to tell them I am a good driver – even if Mike disagrees.

My biggest driving pet peeve has to be that wonderful person who is the only person in the lane next to you when you put your blinker on to get over. You know the one that somehow all of a sudden realizes they must speed up instead of letting you get over. Then they go super slow in front of you. What’s up with that?

My biggest pet peeve is when there are signs way ahead of time letting drivers know to merge into a single lane, but there are always those jerk drivers who want to get in front of everyone and almost cause an accident doing last second merges.

Since I drive a little car, I’d have to say my biggest pet peeve is those drivers who think they own the road, & don’t need to look before changing lanes, turning or anything else.
Having my little car takes “defensive driving” to a whole new level!

My biggest pet peeve on the road is when the person in front of you slows to almost a complete stop to take a left hand turn, and completely ignores the available turn lane. I find my self screaming to my windshield, “There’s a lane for that!!!” Grr.

Well I have many *cough, cough* pet peeves but I have to say I have gotten better with some of them but one that still urks me is people that do not use their turn signals specially coming into my neighborhood bc it is such a pain in the booty to get out of my neighborhood. Listen people, they weren’t put on vehicles for decoration, they were meant to use so use them! Ok, that is all, end of rant…lol.

I do have quite a few pet peeves when it comes to driving, but I must say, the one that makes my blood boil is when I see a care full of youngins toodling along and the grown up driver is puffing on a cigarette!!

I biggest pet peeve is when you are at a stop light and the person behind you keeps inching up on your bumper. I will scoot up, and then they will scoot up, then I will scoot up again. UGHHHHH, hate it!

When someone is talking on their phone or texting, instead of paying attention to their driving. It is getting to the point I hate driving, because I have been almost hit practically every time I go anywhere.twoofakind12@yahoo.com

So glad you saved. I tried and didn’t. LOL. I just drive too much. My biggest pet peeve is impatient drivers. I wish they’d just leave earlier to get where they want, when they want. I am not risking my life or my kids or my car just cuz they’re in a rush!

My biggest pet peeve when I’m driving is other drivers not using their turn signals. When I’m walking my biggest pet peeve is drivers not stopping at stop signs. Do they think those Red Octagons are only for decoration!?!

Turn signals are meant to SIGNAL the intention of turning long before turning, not AS the person is turning. I know that person is turning when the car stops dead in front of me. I want to be warned ahead of time.

High beems I hat them in my face or in my mirrors !! I can not stand especially when you are not going below the speed limit but not fast enough over the speed limit for the person behind you.. Uggg that drives me crazy !!

I have a BUNCH!!! I think my biggest is people cutting me off! I mean like me having to sit in a long line like to get off the interstate or something and some idiot driving the emergency lane to get closer to the front of the line! What makes them so important!!!???

People where I live are just idiots about highway driving in general. It’s like they get on the highway and completely forget how to drive…and definitely forget common driving courtesies, such as letting someone merge!

I am showing my age. I get upset with the drivers that drive inconsistently on the road. speed up , slow down , signal late or not at all and the reason that they are driving inattentively is that they are on the PHONE!
